A film made in cooperation with the Ministry of the Interior, the Military Academy of Technology and the Ministry of Defense.

Agent Bernard lands on the Koszalin coast. He is supposed to get information about rocket bases. The only accidental witness of his arrival in Poland pays with his life for the encounter with the spy. Without any problems, Bernard goes to Warsaw and makes contact with Zygmunt and Maria, who work for a foreign intelligence service. He communicates with the headquarters in the West using a cipher hidden in the recordings of the unsuspecting ham radio operators. Soon the security service finds them.
